  • Mitochondria, which have important functions in cells, are not only a place for ATP production by oxidative phosphorylation, but their activity and dysfunction are closely related to cancer, senescence, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Therefore, understanding the state of mitochondria is particularly important.

    Mitochondria Research

    Mitophagy

    Ferroptosis is characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides. Lipid peroxides are formed from oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in membrane phospholipids, with iron suggested to be involved. Intracellular glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) uses reduced glutathione (GSH), an antioxidant, to reduce lipid peroxides generated by reactive oxygen species (ROS).

    Target Mitophagy
    Reagent Mitophagy Detection Kit Keima-Red
    Principle Mitophagy Dye (included in Mitophagy Detection Kit) is a pH-sensitive fluorescent probe that accumulates in mitochondria and emits red fluorescence due to acidic conditions in a lysosome. A pH-sensitive ratiometric fluorescent protein. The excitation spectrum changes according to pH. This protein shows high fluorescence ratio (Ex. 550 nm/440 nm) values in a lysosome.

    Mitochondrial Membrane Potential

    Target Mitochondrial Membrane Potential
    Reagent MT-1 MitoMP Detection Kit JC-1 MitoMP Detection Kit
    CAT. No. MT13 Product code
    Principle Cell-permeant fluorescent dyes accumulate in intact mitochondria due to the membrane potential. MT-1 is extremely photostable and more sensitive than JC-1 and can provide equivalent detection sensitivity to TMRE. A cell-permeant ratiometric fluorescent dye that accumulates in intact mitochondria due to the membrane potential. JC-1 forms aggregate (in healthy mitochondria) with red fluorescence. As membrane potential decreases, JC-1 becomes monomers, which shows in green fluorescence.
